Question

You have a box of 11 art projects that weighs 24 pounds. If you give your mom 7 of

your art projects, how much would her box weigh?

Answer 1

15.27 ≅ 15 pounds if I'm not wrong :(

Explanation:

11 projects : 24 pounds

7 projects : x pounds

x = (24 × 7) ÷ 11 = 15.27

Answer 2

15.2726

Explanation:

so you figure out how much individual box weighs by dividing 24 by 11, which equals 2.1818. Then you times what you figured out what a single art project weighs (2.1818) by seven, and that gets you 15.2726
